  • Connecting to a host

In the Yandex Cloud infrastructure, ClickHouse® server clusters are deployed and supported using Managed Service for ClickHouse®.

Getting startedGetting started

  1. Create a new Managed Service for ClickHouse® cluster and enable public access to it from the host. You can also use an existing cluster with publicly available hosts.
  2. Configure cluster security groups.
  3. Open the DataSphere project:

    1. Select the relevant project in your community or on the DataSphere homepage in the Recent projects tab.

    2. Click Open project in JupyterLab and wait for the loading to complete.
    3. Open the notebook tab.

Connecting to a hostConnecting to a host

To connect to Managed Service for ClickHouse® cluster hosts:

  1. Get an SSL certificate. To do this, enter the following command in a notebook cell:

    #!:bash
    mkdir ~/.clickhouse-client
    wget "https://storage.yandexcloud.net/cloud-certs/CA.pem" -O ~/.clickhouse-client/root.crt && \
    chmod 0600 ~/.clickhouse-client/root.crt
    
  2. Establish a connection to the database. To do this, enter the following command in a notebook cell:

    Using the requests library
    Using the clickhouse-driver library
    import requests
    url = 'https://{host}:8443/?database={db}&query={query}'.format(
            host='<ClickHouse®_host_FQDN>',
            db='<database_name>',
            query='SELECT version()')
    auth = {
            'X-ClickHouse-User': '<DB_user_name>',
            'X-ClickHouse-Key': '<DB_user_password>',
        }
    cacert = '/home/jupyter/.clickhouse-client/root.crt'
    rs = requests.get(url, headers=auth, verify=cacert)
    rs.raise_for_status()
    print(rs.text)
    

    If the connection to the cluster is successful, the ClickHouse® version will be output in response to the test query:

    22.3.17.13
    
    %pip install clickhouse-driver
    from clickhouse_driver import Client
    client = Client(host='<ClickHouse®_host_FQDN>',
                    user='<DB_user_name>',
                    password='<DB_user_password>',
                    database='<DB_name>',
                    secure=True)
    client.execute('SELECT version()')
    

    If the connection to the cluster is successful, the ClickHouse® version will be output in response to the test query:

    [('22.3.17.13',)]
